China's DeepSeek previews new model adapted for Huawei chip technology

The open-source models are designed to rival top U.S. systems while cutting costs and supporting Huawei chips, DeepSeek said.

  • The Hangzhou-based DeepSeek released a "preview" version of its DeepSeek-V4 model on Friday, aiming to compete with top-tier artificial intelligence systems from American rivals like OpenAI and Google DeepMind.
  • Founded in 2023, the startup gained global attention with free, open-source models that historically achieved performance benchmarks matching leading LLMs at a fraction of the cost of U.S. competitors.
  • The new DeepSeek-V4 "features an ultra-long context of 1 million words, achieving leadership in both domestic and open-source fields," the company said; it is available in DeepSeek-V4-Pro and DeepSeek-V4-Flash versions.
  • Optimized for agent tools like Anthropic's Claude Code and OpenClaw, DeepSeek-V4 trails Google's Gemini-Pro-3 in world knowledge benchmarks, though the company claimed strong results against domestic competitors.
  • Amid intensifying technological competition, reports suggest DeepSeek optimized the model for Huawei Technologies' Ascend chips, while officials prior to release accused the company of using banned Nvidia Blackwell hardware.
